Beautiful, unique flowers!

Robyn is a dream to work with - she answered my emails very quickly and set up some video calls too. She made a Pinterest board for my wedding and was able to answer any questions as well as make recommendations that would be best for the venue and the vibe we were going for. The flowers she provided really made the whole room come together and my bouquet was exactly what I had envisioned! Thank you, Robyn!!

Amazing experience during Covid!

We worked with Robyn to get some arrangements done for our wedding. We sent her some ideas of what we wanted and she made the ideas come to life....beautiful!!! We had to make a few changes during the process, but Robyn was always very responsive and very helpful. This made our experience smoother and better despite the fact we were getting married in the middle of a pandemic. Thank you very much Robyn for your work. Andrea & Curtis

Shop Small - It will work out

We asked Poppy flowers to do our boutonnieres and ordered some stems to add to my bouquet (which we made ourselves). I had few dreams of what I wanted for my wedding but I had always wanted yellow billy button boutonnieres. I was told this was possible but something went wrong with the order from the supplier and the yellow billy buttons did not come in. She made it work by using white billy buttons with yellow roses and giving me a refund for the stems.
We also arranged pickup at a museum in town for 10am. The groom's parents went to pick them up and found the museum closed and locked. It took some patience on their part but someone showed up eventually and gave them the flowers saying they were not aware there was an order for the day. In the end, all crises were averted but there was definitely some disappointment and panic the morning of the big day.
Overall, she charged a super reasonable price and tenacity came through for her in the end. Sometimes shopping small is worth the risk (unless you are super super picky)

Local, Sustainable (Self growing), Beautiful Floral Arrangements at a Reasonable Price

Robyn does some amazing work! The arrangements are beautiful and are representative of what she has shown on her website. The products we received were very Beautiful and more than we expected!  She is very easy to communicate with and responsive by email (0 to 3 days depending on the season). There was one mistake with one of our arrangements but she was very professional and rectified the situation. Overall, I would recommend Robyn at Poppy Flower Works for any floral arrangements!

Amazing Flowers!!

Robyn was so accommodating and knew exactly what I wanted without me even really knowing. I just had a vague idea in my head of colours I wanted and she made that idea into beautiful reality. Would recommend Robyn and Poppy Flower Works for any event you have! Love love love!

Meet the team

Robyn Buzzee
Robyn Buzzee
Owner

My name is Robyn Buzzee, and I am the florist and flower farmer behind Poppy Flower Works. I grew up in Canmore, in the picturesque Bow Valley. Being raised in such an inspiring landscape developed an early appreciation for aesthetics and ecology, an appreciation that has matured with me throughout my journey.

In my early twenties, I worked my way up to managing the floral department at the local branch of a corporately-owned grocery store. I came to this work with a keen interest in learning floristry and found myself completely in love with the medium. Through my dedication to the department I achieved the management position, which I enjoyed for three years. This was an important moment in my story, I was able to develop a rich foundation of knowledge about my craft, gain invaluable experience managing the day-to-day of a floral business, but also took care of a multitude of large accounts, most significantly creating arrangements and designs for weddings. My tenure at this grocery store floral department gave me a wealth of experience working with brides and husbands to-be on floral design that meaningfully punctuated their weddings.

My position as floral department manager also provided me with first hand-knowledge of the darker side of this industry. The flowers we sourced came from overseas, were completely poisoned by toxic farming practices meant to create a bigger yield, and preservative agents that kept the flowers looking fresh en route to us - gorgeous plants turned into agents of toxicity that infiltrate the lives of those seeking their beauty. In addition to the toxicity added through mass market farming practices, the large carbon footprint of the flower from being shipped overseas, the packaging and use of floral foam (which is incredible toxic) were two added elements of how the mainstream floral industry isn’t caring for the health of its communities, flowers, or environment at large.

During this realization I began pursuing my passion for gardening. Building garden beds in my yard and learning to tend them with organic and bio-dynamic processes was a site of active resistance against the nearly ubiquitous problematics found in the floral industry. This practice was a source of great resilience, allowing me to find meaning in the work that I did with my hands to grow food and flowers in balanced and natural ways. Gardening is a cultivation of my values.

In my mid twenties I left my job managing the Grocery Floral department and pursue an art education. I attended the studio art program at Capilano University, in North Vancouver, graduating in 2013 with a diploma of fine arts. Capilano’s campus is nestled within lush rain forest in the fecund setting of the Pacific Northwest, the natural setting was a deep source of inspiration for me as I developed my foundational knowledge of contemporary fine art.

Following my diploma I moved to Calgary to attend the Alberta College of Art and Design, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drawing in 2016. The west coast treated me well, but my home is in the mountains and prairies of Southern Alberta. Back in my stomping grounds, I have engaged with a series of professional development workshops, notably with Alberta Girl Acres and Prairie Girl Flowers on sustainable floristry and flower farming.

Now a mother to the coolest two year old around, I have much cause to reflect on my journey over the past decade, and have found great motivation to model my values through my work to my daughter. My dedicated relationship to gardening and floristry over the past decade has been a work of great love. And in reflecting this love I believe it is important that the floral industry becomes one of ecological sustainability through local, organic, compostable practices. My fine arts background has enlivened me with a deeper understanding of aesthetics and design which I bring to my work as a florist. The marriage of these two elements, beauty and ecology, is why I started Poppy Flowerworks. It is with deep love that I offer my floral works, ecologically conscious and responsibly arrangements and designs, small but meaningful change within our local community.
